lyrics

Blood I’ve taken is blood I’ve carried
Covered the angels so I can’t breathe again
Can’t feed again to save my life
Father’s naked and Mother’s buried
All but the angels, the world comes clean to them
I’ve seen you there to take my life

I’d like to see their bones drip
Stand above and not below it
Yeah we savour every moment
I’ve been lyin if I said I’m not afraid
I’d like to see their bones drip
Stand above and not below it
Across the lines we follow my enemy

Finger to a pulse
The pace of it is quickening
God, what have I become?
Reality is sinking in
Death draws the map to a vacant horizon of red
It’s in my head
Is this the end?

Death draws the map to a vacant horizon of red
It’s in my head

I’d like to see their bones drip
Stand above and not below it
Yeah we savour every moment
I’ve been lyin if I said I’m not afraid
I’d like to see their bones drip
Stand above and not below it
Across the lines we follow my enemy

We learn to say hello and then goodbye
We like to say we failed before we tried
It’s not that we don’t know
(I’m just so fucked up you say)
That’s just how it goes
(I’m just so fucked up you say)

So pick another place for all your fears
And put me in a cage to keep me here
And never let it show
(I’m just so fucked up you say)
This is how it goes
(I’m just so fucked up you say)

So the take away the veil and look inside
The world has bloody teeth and sharpened knives
And that’s just how it goes
(I’m just so fucked up you say)
And that’s the way I know
(I’m just so fucked up you say)

But how can I be lost when I am found?
How can I grow up and not come down?
Cause I don’t wanna know
(I’m just so fucked up you say)
If that’s the way I’ll go
(I’m just so fucked up you say)

We love to say hello and then goodbye
We like to say we failed before we tried
Cause that’s the way we know
(I’m just so fucked up you say)
That’s the way it goes
(I’m just so fucked up you say)

So build another place for all your fears
And put me in a cage to keep me here
And never let it show
(I’m just so fucked up you say)
And that’s just how it goes
(I’m just so fucked up you say)

So the take away the veil and look inside
The world has bloody nails and sharpened knives
And that’s the way we know
(I’m just so fucked up you say)
And that’s the way it goes
(I’m just so fucked up you say)

So how can I be lost when I am found?
How can I grow up and not come down?
I guess we’ll never know
(I’m just so fucked up you say)
I guess we’ll never know
(I’m just so fucked up you say)

I’d like to see their bones drip
Stand above and not below it
Yeah we savour every moment
I’ve been lyin if I said I’m not afraid
I’d like to see their bones drip
Stand above and not below it
Across the lines we follow my enemy

Vitals we sever, vitals we claim
Kill off the creature that can’t be contained
Vitals we sever, vitals we claim
We kill and we kill and we kill and we kill and we kill
